Couple of questions/issues
1. Sleep mode, for some reason my PC wakes up within 15-30 min of going to sleep. I just updated the Bios to F8.
Have the following Bios options set
PME Event Wake up: Disabled
Resume by Alarm: Disabled
Power on by Ring: Disabled
ACPI suspend type: S3/STR
Any clue?
2. Memory timings. I have Patriot memory is rated at 1.65Volts, I set all the timings manually and changed it to 1600 (as per my memory). The question is, I read that changing the Memory voltage should be raised above 1.5V and regardless if I set it to 1600, it will default to 1333???
I guess the big question is, does it even matter if I change Voltage of Memory Speed at all? Most say performance benefits are minimal at best and it's not worth the risk of changing the voltage.
3. is it worth running the hard drive in none IDE mode? This would require me to reinstall windows on AHCI/Raid mode. From what I gather performance differences are minimal at best.
4. I noticed my 2500k runs at 1600mhz and goes up when needed. I believe this is due to # of things:
-Windows Power Management settings set to balanced. High Performance setting makes it run at full clock
- C1E bios setting
- EIST bios setting
Does any of these really matter? From research I've done power consumption savings are significant with minimal hit on performance (if any).
Any reason why I should disable these and run at High Performance?
Thanks in advance!!!
